Services Offered
When checking out a meal delivery service, there is a checklist that it needs to meet. Let’s see how Hello Fresh does at meeting this checklist.
Back to top ↑Delicious Recipes
Hello Fresh certainly delivers in this area. There menu consists of a variety of recipes that are full of flavor. The ingredients delivered to your door are fresh, giving your food the tastiest flavor. Their menu includes recipes such as Bacon, Broccolini, and Feta Fusilli, Jamaican Jerk Salmon and roasted veggies, and Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Breast with truffle and porcini baked risotto and rocket salad. (Say that three times real fast!)
You don’t need to worry about eating the same meal over and over. Hello Fresh gives you 10 meals to choose from each week and they are always coming up with new and unique recipes to offer you.
Back to top ↑Convenience
Because Hello Fresh is delivered right to your door with all the necessary ingredients to cook all its recipes, the convenience is abundant. You won’t have to go shopping for your ingredients, which can be a hassle. It’s horrible waiting in line at the supermarket.
You won’t have to worry about making up a menu for the week. All you do is pick from Hello Fresh’s recipe line up. Going out to eat could be a possibility but its just so expensive and not very healthy.
Back to top ↑Nutritious and Healthy
Speaking of healthy, Hello Fresh always delivers a well-balanced meal with a good ratio of protein, carbs, and fat. They always include fresh vegetables and lean meats. Their portions are filling but just right for a sensible diet. You won’t be overeating on this plan because of huge portions.
The recipes are created by Australian Masterchef, Tom Rutledge and he believes in using simple, healthy ingredients. He makes healthy recipes by using plenty of spices and herbs to give flavor, not fat. He also understands the struggle of cooking at home with little time, so his recipes are meant to be cooked in 30 minutes or less.
Back to top ↑Ease of Use
Becoming a Hello Fresh customer is super simple. All you need to do is choose which meal plan is asking you to take it home. There are three to choose from; classic, vegetarian, and the family plan.
Based on your choice of box, you have your choice of the number of recipes each week and amount of servings per recipe. With the classic plan you can choose 3, 4, or 5 recipes per week with 2 or 4 servings per recipe. The family plan always comes with 4 servings, but you can get 3, 4, or 5 recipes each week. The vegetarian options are 3 or 4 recipes with 2 or 4 servings per recipe.
Once you’ve made all your choices, all you need to do is sit back and wait! You’ll soon have fresh ingredients delivered right to your door with color recipe cards with easy to follow step-by-step instructions.
Price
With $20 off your first four boxes and free shipping, this meal delivery kit is very affordable. The classic plan is only available for two people and $10.99 per serving for two meals a week, or $8.99 per serving for 3 or 4 meals a week. You can also get the veggie plan for $8.99 per serving.
